Top Gear - Season 17 (2011)

The guys attempt to make train travel cheaper, faster and more interesting by replacing the conventional carriages and locomotive with a series of caravans attached to a specially modified car. It's either the world's most ingenious idea or the prelude to the world's biggest accident. Jeremy is also out on the track comparing the rip-snorting Jaguar XKR-S to the recently updated Nissan GT-R.

The guys are challenged to knock down a row of derelict houses in less time than it takes a team of demolition experts to do the same job. Meanwhile, Jeremy tests an updated version of the classic Jensen Interceptor and finds himself transported back to a 1970s world of leather driving gloves and droopy moustaches. The incredible Lotus T125 also brings some F1-style performance to the track

Jeremy and James embark on a trip to the British seaside in two new electric cars, taking in an impromptu and thoroughly informative visit to Lincoln along the way. Meanwhile, Richard meets the world's most extraordinary rally team, and pop impresario Louis Walsh is this week's star in the Reasonably Priced Car. Plus, the new brand new Lamborghini Aventador flexes its muscles on the track.
